    I once lived in Ankara, Turkey and had my family send me a cassette with the latest album of my favorite band from Gdańsk, Poland. Never got it and moved on (and moved out).

    I got a message from my former neighbors 9 years after the tape was sent, informing me, it has arrived. (It was around early 2000s)

    A few years back I got something from Etsy after like 4 months because it had to clear Russian customs. It was a handknit Doom monster plush.
